Santa Claus Needs a New PR Guy!

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

Santa Claus Needs a New PR Guy! Christmas 2008, like so many Christmases past, has had its share of stress-induce rises in crime rates. Especially crimes that are related to the pressures of the times, and probably all in some way shape or form related to the economy. Santa Claus too was affected by the economy. Santa.net was my pet project since 1996 when I started it to keep my young son, battling a cold at the time, entertained. But it became habit forming. The letters to Santa Claus were first to make me realize that there was more to gain than invest with maintaining Santa.net. The letters, in and of themselves were enough to make the whole task worthwhile. Most years I didn’t even bother to try to offset the investment with some kind of income-generating plan. We never gave that a college try. One year I tried to keep my sister busy doing something so I let her handle the “Letters from Santa”. She had a great time. And this year we ran some Google Adsense Ads. That put a little back in the kitty, but the Santa Claus, Elf and Reindeer animations we do on Santa.net are labor intensive and a lot of people spend a lot of hours doing them… Add to that the programming and site maintenance and, if you know anything about what these things cost, you’ll understand that ours is a labor of love.

It really bothers me when I see a search for “Santa” turn up Christmas Party Shooting by Santa Claus, Santa Claus Molestation Letters, People run down in roller rinks, and anything you could possibly imagine that would effectively erase the spirit of the holiday for a web surfer with his children at his side. What makes one think that when someone does a search for “Santa” on Christmas Eve, he or she is looking to find a story about child molestation or Santa Claus shooting up a bunch of kids to share with his or her kids and family. Why is it that the sensationalist news media gets to push the Santa websites off the front page? Santa.net was very lucky, we were on page one right through Christmas Eve. But why in the name of well written and well intentioned algorithms would this be meant to happen. Is that the plan for Christmas? Some years the Grinch does his dirty work. But can’t we design an algorithm that offers the Grinch a little less help?

When it comes time for me to search for something important, Google is the only search engine that provides real meaningful results. I don’t want them to change, I just want to drop something into the suggestion box… And maybe a set of presets to tailor the search to different situations… For instance, one present for searching when web surfing with the kids, one for work-related, and you can “train it” by voting down or up good-relevant results and down objectionable or unrelated results. (Much like the spam filters work.) Just a few thoughts:):)

Where is Santa Claus

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

Satellite image shows our advanced Santa Tracker is trying to track Santa Claus and is running into some difficulties! It seems she may have strayed off track. We are using a special frequency dog whistle and some extra yummy Santa Tracker Santa Cracker Doggy Treats and have every reason to believe we will have Santa’s coordinates zeroed in shortly. “Ellie, where is Santa Claus, girl. Go find Santa! Come on girl! Where is Santa? Where’s the ball? Go track Santa… Good doggy:)

Christmas Quotes to Make Santa Claus Smile

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

There are a lot of Christmas Quotes, but these are few and special:christmas quotes:

I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”
by Charles Dickens from ‘A Christmas Carol’.

They err who thinks Santa Claus comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart.”
Thanks Mrs. Paul M. Ell, a lot of kids have been asking about the technology there:)

One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don’t clean it up too quickly.”
Andy Rooney said this first sentence in 1919, and added the second sentence when his wife asked him to clean it up.

Maybe Christmas,” he thought, “doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more.”

Thank you Dr. Seuss (From ‘How The Grinch Stole Christmas’)

Santa is Loading Up His Sled.

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

And the reindeer are eating some extra calories to have a LOT of energy for their long magic flight! Santa Claus will be taking his magic sleigh ride on Christmas Eve. And yes… Even if you don’t have a chimney he brings along a porta-chimney that self installs on verbal command: As soon as Santa says: “Hey, there’s no chimney here!” A temp-chimney installs on the roof. If there’s a fire in the chimney, it has no affect on Santa due to his magical speed and special fabric. He also wears a special SunScreen-like goo that keep the skin and beard safe:)

Best Santa Claus Websites… You vote:

Sunday, December 21st, 2008

Many a Santa Claus Websites was created just to make money! That is not the spirit of Santa Claus. Wesites need money to exist, but Santa Claus websites shouldn’t be designed JUST to make money and offer nothing meaningful or fun or genuine on the site. I did a search for the “best Santa Claus website” or Best Santa Claus Website” and was shocked to see that all the lists were self-serving, listing their own site and other non-related sites just to publicize themselves and NOT to offer any useful information. It is in this interest that Santa.net wishes to let the best judges in the universe: real peopl, kids and parents, show the world where the best Santa Claus websites are. And it shouldn’t be a contest. Just a way to develop a list of NOT “made for profit” Santa Claus Websites, but Santa Claus websites that are worth visiting with your kids.
